    Beautifully said, Carolina Hospital: “This poem by Maureen Seaton from her beautiful & powerful new book THE SKY IS AN ELEPHANT is the way I will always remember her: defiant, brave, exuberant with life and love, generous, and in the stars! She made this world, us, me, better.”

    If you have a resistance to using “they” as a person’s pronoun, insinuate “they” isn’t in a traditional bio, & you had to reconsider the use— that tells me all I need to know about you & your press.

    I’ve received permission from the two contributors to share their email that alerted us to the issue with Terrapin Books. It’s important to share their message.

    Syabira on the @BritishBakeOff makes me smile every time she’s on the screen. She’s kind, sweet, funny, and a hell of a baker. Love her attitude. #gbbo

    Woke up thinking of this poem by @mseaton9. Had to read it a few times. Pledging to myself— “I will use myself up now— and then // I will use myself up again tomorrow.”

    I wasn’t impacted by a bio revision, but I am livid as a raging homosexual that won’t stand for his non-binary and trans peeps being erased or misgendered. I stand with every damn member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Let people live as their authentic selves!
